John, were you referring to a local shop to you or local to me or are you in Maine?

Hi Pam (and all

)
Pam - you can join PGCA on-line - and it's pretty simple.. Either way you decide is just fine, OK? But - Membership does have it's privileges - and I've heard, but can attest to that your PGCA Membership card allows you to:
1) Pass on a two lane highway - on the right - where it's permitted;
2) Remove the "DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW" tag from your pillow and mattress;
3) Discounts of up to 15% on AARP singles dances;
3) Borrow Parker Shotguns from other PGCA Members - and they buy the ammo;
3) Add an extra point to either trap or skeet;
3) Flashing your PGCA Membership card in front of your teenagers will instantly make them obey;
3) Allow you to drink a V8 fruit mix without having to slap your forehead;
3) Allow you to drive a Por....
Oh nevermind.... Your PGCA Card - don't leave home without it...

(And oh - I made some of the stuff above up from my imagination - guess which one??

)
And oh - here is that on-line link....

Anyway - if you are looking for a great 'smith to just clean up and check out your Parker - I know one locally in Portsmouth NH.. BUT - for restoration, I'd probably have other suggestions, OK??
As for the store - it's in Kittery Maine - Kittery Trading Post- been there for I guess about 10 years or so?? - and I used to be one of the Asst Managers in shooting sports, I'm now the Manager of Internet Firearms, Senior Trader, Senior Sales, etc., etc., etc.... Don't be worried about the "Senior" titles - it doesn't mean I know anything - it just means I'm old and been there for a long time???...??
Best to you!
John
